Brandon and Valerie Howe, both Texas residents and veterans, have been interested in the franchising model for a while. Brandon works for Motel 6’s corporate office and has seen franchise operations from that side of the table, which prompted the couple to buy into a small signage franchise and two territories of the pet waste pick-up service,&nbsp;<a href="https://scoopsoldiersfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=veteran-couple-opens-two-new-scoop-soldiers-territories-in-fort-worth-to-continue-serving-community-2720435" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Scoop Soldiers</a>.&nbsp;The brand, which offers franchise owners the chance to be a part of a&nbsp;<a href="https://petkeen.com/pet-industry-statistics-trends/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=veteran-couple-opens-two-new-scoop-soldiers-territories-in-fort-worth-to-continue-serving-community-2720435" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">$261 billion</a> pet care industry, is a great opportunity for those who want to own a company but have a network of pre-established internal support.“We like the concept of the support that a franchise offers,” said Brandon Howe. “Franchising provides stability with all the benefits of business ownership, and the brand can help you with what you aren’t as strong in.”The Howes recently signed a multi-unit agreement to serve the areas of Fort Worth and Roanoke, Texas, after spending some time vetting the brand and talking with existing franchisees.&nbsp;They began operations at the end of October.&nbsp;“We wanted a service-based franchise that didn’t require a brick-and-mortar location.&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/scoopsoldiers">Scoop Soldiers</a> made sense because we are dog owners and see the benefits of a service like this,” said Brandon Howe.Valerie Howe agreed, calling&nbsp;franchising a “safer option for business ownership” and pointing out how they liked the brand’s “clear-cut model.”&nbsp;“There is a problem,” she said, “and Scoop Soldiers offers a simple solution.”The brand’s services have been growing steadily in demand since the company was founded in 2010, and it has grown to more than 20 units. Trends show that pet owners have less time to deal with doggy droppings and are increasingly likely to pay for a pet waste service.&nbsp;According to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.avma.org/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=veteran-couple-opens-two-new-scoop-soldiers-territories-in-fort-worth-to-continue-serving-community-2720435" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">American Veterinary Medical Association</a>, more than 43% of Texans have dogs. Fort Worth also placed on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.petinsurancereview.com/blog/pet-friendly-cities?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=veteran-couple-opens-two-new-scoop-soldiers-territories-in-fort-worth-to-continue-serving-community-2720435" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">WalletHub’s Top Pet-Friendly Cities list</a>. As pet owners themselves, the Howes are deeply committed to Scoop Soldier’s mission of keeping dogs safe and yards clear. Their services save owners time and save their properties from unpleasant odors, germs and unsightly appearances.“We truly care about our customers and their pets. We aren’t going to let anything happen to your animals that we can control. Their safety is our number one priority,” said Brandon Howe.The Howes are very excited about this venture of business ownership with Scoop Soldiers and have plans to scale their operations significantly in the future. Their goal is to eventually run eight territories in local Texas regions and operate them full-time.Scoop Soldiers is aiming to sign 15 to 20 franchise agreements by the end of this year, for areas across the country, including Texas, Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, Arizona, Colorado, North Carolina and Ohio.The total cost to invest in Scoop Soldiers ranges from $61,300 to $111,300 per territory.
